Description

特許文献1にかかる照明機能付き押圧兼回転式電子部品の場合、透明なシャフトの下端面に対向する位置に発光素子を設置しているので、シャフトを効率的に照明することはできるが、その代りに押圧スイッチをシャフトの回転軸から離れた位置に設置する必要がある。このため電子部品の外径の小型化が阻害され、また押圧スイッチが1つの場合(特許文献1の場合は2つの押圧スイッチでバランスを取っているが)、シャフトを押圧して押圧スイッチをオンする際に、シャフトにはこれを傾かせる方向の力がかかり、操作感触が良好とはいえなくなる恐れがあった。   In the case of the pressing and rotating electronic component with an illumination function according to Patent Literature 1, the light emitting element is installed at a position facing the lower end surface of the transparent shaft, so that the shaft can be efficiently illuminated. Instead, the push switch needs to be installed at a position away from the rotation axis of the shaft. For this reason, miniaturization of the outer diameter of the electronic component is hindered, and when there is one push switch (in the case of Patent Document 1, the balance is achieved by two push switches), the push switch is turned on by pushing the shaft. At this time, a force is applied to the shaft in a direction to tilt the shaft, and there is a possibility that the operation feeling may not be good.

上記問題を解決するには、特許文献2に示すように、シャフトの真下に押圧スイッチを設置すればよい。しかしながらこの場合は、逆に発光素子をシャフトの真下に設置できなくなるので、シャフトの効率的な照明が阻害されるという問題があった。   In order to solve the above problem, as shown in Patent Document 2, a press switch may be provided directly below the shaft. However, in this case, on the contrary, the light emitting element cannot be installed directly below the shaft, so that there is a problem that efficient illumination of the shaft is hindered.

次に電子部品1の組立方法を説明する。まず回転体70の摺動子取付面77に摺動子90を設置し、その際回転体70の各摺動子取付部79を摺動子90の各取付部97に挿入し、各摺動子取付部79の先端を熱カシメすることで回転体70に摺動子90を固定しておく。   Next, a method of assembling the electronic component 1 will be described. First, the slider 90 is set on the slider mounting surface 77 of the rotating body 70, and at this time, each slider mounting portion 79 of the rotating body 70 is inserted into each mounting portion 97 of the slider 90, and each sliding The slider 90 is fixed to the rotating body 70 by thermally caulking the tip of the child mounting portion 79.

次に図8において、作動体190をその基部191が第1ケース本体151側を向くように上下逆にして、発光素子設置部169の上面(発光素子173を設置した反対側の面)に載置する。このとき、作動体190の各基板取付部199,205(4つ)を発光素子設置部169の各取付孔179に挿入し、発光素子設置部169の下面側で各基板取付部199,205の先端を熱カシメし、これによって作動体190を発光素子設置部169に取り付ける。   Next, in FIG. 8, the operating body 190 is turned upside down so that the base 191 faces the first case body 151, and is mounted on the upper surface of the light emitting element installation portion 169 (the opposite surface on which the light emitting element 173 is installed). Place. At this time, the four board mounting parts 199 and 205 (four) of the operating body 190 are inserted into the respective mounting holes 179 of the light emitting element mounting part 169, and the board mounting parts 199 and 205 of the light emitting element mounting part 169 are inserted under the light emitting element mounting part 169. The tip is thermally caulked, whereby the operating body 190 is attached to the light emitting element installation section 169.

次に前記一体化した発光素子設置部169と作動体190とを、連結部165の部分を折り曲げることで、スイッチ形成部167の真上に位置するように折り返す。このとき作動体190の係止部197を第1ケース150の被係止部175,155に挿入し、作動体収納部153内での作動体190の位置決めを行う。即ちこれによって、作動体190は、第1ケース150内でがたつかなくなる。そして第1ケース150の一対の覆い部材挿入部159に覆い部材220の両端を挿入し、切欠き部157を塞ぐ。これによって図2,図3に示すように、押圧スイッチ171の反転板171aの中央に作動体190の押圧部203が配置され、その上に発光素子173が配置される。   Next, the integrated light emitting element installation section 169 and the operating body 190 are folded back so as to be located directly above the switch forming section 167 by bending the connection section 165. At this time, the locking portion 197 of the operating body 190 is inserted into the locked portions 175 and 155 of the first case 150, and the positioning of the operating body 190 in the operating body storage portion 153 is performed. That is, by this, the operating body 190 does not rattle in the first case 150. Then, both ends of the cover member 220 are inserted into the pair of cover member insertion portions 159 of the first case 150, and the notch portion 157 is closed. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the pressing portion 203 of the operating body 190 is disposed at the center of the reversing plate 171a of the pressing switch 171 and the light emitting element 173 is disposed thereon.

次にカバー10の上面部11の下面にクリックバネ30を配置し、クリックバネ30の各係止片33をカバー10の各係合部19に係合し、これによってカバー10にクリックバネ30を係止する。次にカバー10の下面側からその軸支部15内にシャフト50を挿入する。次にシャフト50の下側に摺動子90を取り付けた回転体70を配置し、その際、回転体70の挿通部71にシャフト50の押圧基部55を挿通し、同時に回転体70の一対のガイド部挿通部73にシャフト50の一対のガイド部57を挿入する。このときクリックバネ30の両弾接部37が回転体70のクリック弾接部75に弾接する。   Next, the click spring 30 is arranged on the lower surface of the upper surface portion 11 of the cover 10, and each locking piece 33 of the click spring 30 is engaged with each engagement portion 19 of the cover 10, whereby the click spring 30 is attached to the cover 10. Lock. Next, the shaft 50 is inserted into the shaft support 15 from the lower surface side of the cover 10. Next, the rotating body 70 to which the slider 90 is attached is disposed below the shaft 50. At this time, the pressing base 55 of the shaft 50 is inserted through the insertion portion 71 of the rotating body 70, and at the same time, the pair of rotating bodies 70 The pair of guide portions 57 of the shaft 50 are inserted into the guide insertion portions 73. At this time, the both elastic contact portions 37 of the click spring 30 elastically contact the click elastic contact portion 75 of the rotating body 70.

次に回転体70等の下側に第2ケース110を配置して摺動子90と回転体70を第2ケース110の収納部113内に収納する。このとき回転体70の軸部81が第2ケース110の回転体軸支部115内に挿入されて軸支され、同時に摺動子90の接点部95が第2フレキシブル回路基板121の摺接パターン127上に弾接する。またカバー10の対向する一対の係止部17に第2ケース110の一対のケース係止部117が挿入されて位置決めされ、同時にカバー10の両側壁部13,13の間に第2ケース110が位置する。さらにこのとき、第2ケース110の凹部119内にクリックバネ30の取付部31が収納される。   Next, the second case 110 is disposed below the rotating body 70 or the like, and the slider 90 and the rotating body 70 are housed in the housing 113 of the second case 110. At this time, the shaft portion 81 of the rotating body 70 is inserted into and supported by the rotating body shaft supporting portion 115 of the second case 110, and at the same time, the contact portion 95 of the slider 90 is brought into contact with the sliding contact pattern 127 of the second flexible circuit board 121. I hit it up. The pair of case locking portions 117 of the second case 110 are inserted and positioned in the pair of facing locking portions 17 of the cover 10, and at the same time, the second case 110 is positioned between the side walls 13, 13 of the cover 10. To position. Further, at this time, the mounting portion 31 of the click spring 30 is stored in the recess 119 of the second case 110.

次に第2ケース110の下側に前記作動体190等を収納した第1ケース150を配置し、次に第1ケース150の両外側に位置するカバー10の各係止部23の先端部分を第1ケース150の底面側に折り曲げて、第2ケース110と第1ケース150をカバー10と一体化する。これによって電子部品1が完成する。このとき図2に示すように、シャフト50の押圧部62は第1フレキシブル回路基板161の発光素子設置部169の上面に当接し、発光素子173はシャフト50の素子収納部61内に位置している。なお上記組立手順はその一例であり、他の各種異なる組立手順を用いて組み立てても良いことはいうまでもない。   Next, the first case 150 accommodating the operating body 190 and the like is disposed below the second case 110, and then the distal ends of the locking portions 23 of the cover 10 located on both outer sides of the first case 150 are removed. The second case 110 and the first case 150 are integrated with the cover 10 by being bent toward the bottom side of the first case 150. Thus, the electronic component 1 is completed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the pressing portion 62 of the shaft 50 abuts on the upper surface of the light emitting element installation portion 169 of the first flexible circuit board 161, and the light emitting element 173 is located in the element housing portion 61 of the shaft 50. I have. Note that the above assembling procedure is one example, and it goes without saying that the assembling may be performed using other various assembling procedures.

そしてシャフト50を回転すれば、これと一体に回転体70及び摺動子90が回転し、摺動子90の接点部95が摺接パターン127上を摺動することで各端子131間のオンオフ出力が変化する。   When the shaft 50 is rotated, the rotating body 70 and the slider 90 rotate integrally with the shaft 50, and the contact portion 95 of the slider 90 slides on the sliding contact pattern 127 to turn on and off the terminals 131. Output changes.

一方シャフト50をその回転軸方向(下方向)に押圧すれば、回転体70に対してシャフト50のみが下降し、その押圧部62が発光素子設置部169の上から作動体本体部195を押圧してこれを下降させ、その押圧部203が押圧スイッチ171の反転板171aを押圧してこれを反転し、押圧スイッチ171をオンする。前記シャフト50への押圧を解除すれば、反転板171aの弾性復帰力によって、反転板171aは元の形状に自動復帰し、同時に押圧スイッチ170はオフし、シャフト50は元の上昇位置に戻る。   On the other hand, when the shaft 50 is pressed in the direction of the rotation axis (downward), only the shaft 50 moves down with respect to the rotating body 70, and the pressing portion 62 presses the operating body main part 195 from above the light emitting element installation part 169. Then, the pressing portion 203 presses the reversing plate 171a of the pressing switch 171 to invert it, and turns on the pressing switch 171. When the pressing on the shaft 50 is released, the reversing plate 171a automatically returns to its original shape due to the elastic restoring force of the reversing plate 171a. At the same time, the pressing switch 170 is turned off, and the shaft 50 returns to the original raised position.

発光素子173を発光すると、その光はその真上及びその周囲を覆っている透明なシャフト50内に導入され、シャフト50の上部に向かって放射され、シャフト50の上部を明るく照らし出す。   When the light-emitting element 173 emits light, the light is introduced into a transparent shaft 50 directly above and surrounding the light-emitting element 173, and is emitted toward the upper portion of the shaft 50, thereby brightly illuminating the upper portion of the shaft 50.

電子部品1においては、上述のように、回転体70を上下動自在に貫通するシャフト50によってこの回転体70を回転するので、シャフト50による回転式電子部品の回転操作をスムーズに行うことができる。同時にシャフト50の下方(この例の場合は真下)に作動体190を介して押圧スイッチ171を設置したので、シャフト50の押圧による押圧式電子部品の押圧操作もスムーズに行うことができる。さらに作動体190上のシャフト50の真下に発光素子173を設置したので、発光素子173によるシャフト50の効果的な照明を行うことができる。発光素子173は、シャフト50下端に設けた素子収納部61内に収納されるので、シャフト50による押圧スイッチ171の押圧によって発光素子173が破壊されることはなく、同時に高さ方向の小型化も図ることができる。また発光素子173と押圧スイッチ171は上下に配置されるので、発光素子173を設置してもこの発光素子173によって押圧スイッチ171の設置スペースが小さくなることはない。従って押圧スイッチ171に反転板171aを用いても、この反転板171aは従来と同等の大きさのものを容易に使用できる。このためシャフト50の押圧動作ストロークや押圧力の変更が容易に行える。   In the electronic component 1, as described above, the rotating body 70 is rotated by the shaft 50 that penetrates the rotating body 70 movably up and down, so that the rotating operation of the rotary electronic component by the shaft 50 can be performed smoothly. . At the same time, since the pressing switch 171 is provided below the shaft 50 (directly below in this example) via the operating body 190, the pressing operation of the pressing electronic component by pressing the shaft 50 can be performed smoothly. Further, since the light emitting element 173 is provided directly below the shaft 50 on the operating body 190, the light emitting element 173 can effectively illuminate the shaft 50. Since the light emitting element 173 is housed in the element housing portion 61 provided at the lower end of the shaft 50, the light emitting element 173 is not destroyed by the pressing of the pressing switch 171 by the shaft 50, and at the same time, the size in the height direction can be reduced. Can be planned. Further, since the light emitting element 173 and the pressing switch 171 are arranged vertically, even if the light emitting element 173 is installed, the light emitting element 173 does not reduce the installation space of the pressing switch 171. Therefore, even if the reversing plate 171a is used for the pressing switch 171, a reversing plate 171a having the same size as that of the related art can be easily used. Therefore, the pressing operation stroke and the pressing force of the shaft 50 can be easily changed.

また電子部品1は、作動体190を収納する作動体収納部153を有する第1ケース150を具備し、この作動体収納部153の底面に押圧スイッチ171を設置するので、第1ケース150内に押圧スイッチ171と作動体190とをコンパクトに収納することができる。   In addition, the electronic component 1 includes a first case 150 having an operating body housing section 153 for housing the operating body 190, and the press switch 171 is installed on the bottom surface of the operating body housing section 153. The push switch 171 and the operating body 190 can be stored compactly.

また作動体190は、第1ケース150の作動体収納部153内に取り付けられる基部191と、基部191から突出する可撓性を有するヒンジ部193と、ヒンジ部193の先端に接続され上面に発光素子173を載置すると共に下面に押圧部203を設けてなる作動体本体部195と、を有して構成されているので、押圧部203を設ける作動体本体部195の上下動は安定し、シャフト50による押圧スイッチ171のオンオフ動作をよりスムーズに確実に行わせることができる。また作動体本体部195の上面に発光素子173を載置するので、発光素子173の安定した保持が行える。   The operating body 190 has a base 191 mounted in the operating body housing 153 of the first case 150, a flexible hinge 193 protruding from the base 191, and a light-emitting top surface connected to the tip of the hinge 193. And the operating body 195 having the pressing portion 203 provided on the lower surface thereof, so that the vertical movement of the operating body 195 provided with the pressing portion 203 is stable, The ON / OFF operation of the press switch 171 by the shaft 50 can be performed more smoothly and reliably. Further, since the light emitting element 173 is mounted on the upper surface of the operating body main body 195, the light emitting element 173 can be stably held.

また第1フレキシブル回路基板161のスイッチ形成部167を第1ケース150の作動体収納部153の内底面に設置すると共に、この第1フレキシブル回路基板161を折り返すことで、発光素子設置部169を作動体190の上面に配置したので、押圧スイッチ171と発光素子173とを1枚の第1フレキシブル回路基板161上に形成できると共に、この第1フレキシブル回路基板161を折り返すだけで作動体190の上下に両者を配置でき、部品点数の削減が図れるばかりが、組立も容易になる。   In addition, the switch forming section 167 of the first flexible circuit board 161 is installed on the inner bottom surface of the operating body storage section 153 of the first case 150, and the light emitting element installing section 169 is operated by turning the first flexible circuit board 161 back. Since the pressure switch 171 and the light emitting element 173 can be formed on a single first flexible circuit board 161 because the first flexible circuit board 161 is folded over, the upper and lower sides of the operating body 190 can be formed simply by folding the first flexible circuit board 161. Both can be arranged and the number of parts can be reduced, but assembling becomes easy.

また第1フレキシブル回路基板161は上述のように、スイッチ形成部167が第1ケース150の作動体収納部153の内底面にインサート成形され、その際第1ケース150の作動体収納部153の外周側壁に設けた切欠き部157を通して第1ケース150の外部に突出する発光素子設置部169は、作動体収納部153内に折り返されて作動体190上に配置される。このようにスイッチ形成部167を第1ケース150の作動体収納部153の内底面にインサート成形して固定すると同時に、発光素子設置部169を第1ケース150の外部に突出させたので、第1フレキシブル回路基板161を平面状の状態としたままインサート成形ができ、その成形が容易に行えるようになる。また第1ケース150の外周側面に切欠き部157を設けたので、第1ケース150の外部に突出する発光素子設置部169を作動体収納部153内に折り返すことが容易に行え、組立作業性も良くなる。   Further, as described above, the first flexible circuit board 161 has the switch forming portion 167 insert-molded on the inner bottom surface of the working body storage portion 153 of the first case 150, and at that time, the outer periphery of the working body storage portion 153 of the first case 150. The light emitting element installation part 169 projecting to the outside of the first case 150 through the notch part 157 provided on the side wall is folded back into the operation body storage part 153 and arranged on the operation body 190. As described above, the switch forming portion 167 is insert-molded and fixed to the inner bottom surface of the operating body housing portion 153 of the first case 150, and at the same time, the light emitting element installation portion 169 is projected outside the first case 150. Insert molding can be performed while the flexible circuit board 161 is in a planar state, and the molding can be easily performed. In addition, since the notch portion 157 is provided on the outer peripheral side surface of the first case 150, the light emitting element installation portion 169 protruding outside the first case 150 can be easily folded back into the operating body housing portion 153, and assembling workability is improved.

At this time, each locking piece 237-2 of the light guide member 230-2 is engaged with each engaging portion 209-2 of the operating body 190-2 by a snap-in method. At this time, the light emitting element 173-2 is stored in the element storage section 233-2 of the light guide member 230-2. Thus, an assembly 240-2 in which the light emitting element 173-2, the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-2, the operating body 190-2, and the light guide member 230-2 are integrated is completed.

The unit 281-2 is provided. Each pressing portion 281-2 is provided at a position facing the exposed surface 183-2 of each terminal 181-2 of the first case 150-2.

次に電子部品1−2の組立方法を説明する。まず回転体70−2の摺動子取付面77−2に摺動子90−2を設置し、その際回転体70−2の図示しない各摺動子取付部を摺動子90−2の各取付部97−2に挿入し、各摺動子取付部の先端を熱カシメすることで回転体70−2に摺動子90−2を固定しておく。   Next, a method of assembling the electronic component 1-2 will be described. First, the slider 90-2 is installed on the slider mounting surface 77-2 of the rotating body 70-2. At this time, each slider mounting portion (not shown) of the rotating body 70-2 is attached to the slider 90-2. The slider 90-2 is fixed to the rotating body 70-2 by inserting it into each mounting portion 97-2 and heat caulking the tip of each slider mounting portion.

また第1ケース150−2の作動体収納部153−2内に、組立体240−2を挿入する。その際、導光部材230−2の各ガイド部239−2を第1ケース150−2の各ガイド部155−2に挿入する。このとき、導光部材230−2から突出する発光素子設置用回路基板250−2下面の各端子接続パターン253−2(4つ)は、第1ケース150−2の作動体収納部153−2の底面に露出した各端子181−2(5つの内の4つ)の露出面183−2に当接する。次に、第1ケース150−2の作動体収納部153−2内に、押圧部材280−2を挿入する。その際、押圧部材280−2の左右両端を第1ケース150−2の一対のガイド部157−2に挿入する。これによって、発光素子設置用回路基板250−2の端子接続パターン253−2を設けた反対側の面(上面)が、押圧部材280−2の各押圧部281−2によって押圧され、前記各端子181−2と端子接続パターン253−2間の電気的接続を確実にする。   Also, the assembly 240-2 is inserted into the operating body storage section 153-2 of the first case 150-2. At this time, each guide part 239-2 of the light guide member 230-2 is inserted into each guide part 155-2 of the first case 150-2. At this time, each of the terminal connection patterns 253-2 (four) on the lower surface of the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-2 protruding from the light guide member 230-2 is attached to the operating body housing portion 153-2 of the first case 150-2. Abuts on the exposed surface 183-2 of each of the terminals 181-2 (four out of five) exposed on the bottom surface of. Next, the pressing member 280-2 is inserted into the operating body storage part 153-2 of the first case 150-2. At this time, both left and right ends of the pressing member 280-2 are inserted into a pair of guide portions 157-2 of the first case 150-2. As a result, the opposite surface (upper surface) of the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-2 on which the terminal connection pattern 253-2 is provided is pressed by the pressing portions 281-2 of the pressing member 280-2, and the respective terminals are pressed. The electrical connection between 181-2 and the terminal connection pattern 253-2 is ensured.

そして、カバー10−2の上面部11−2の下面にクリックバネ30−2を配置し、次にカバー10−2の下面側からその軸支部15−2内にシャフト50−2を挿入する。次にシャフト50−2の下側に摺動子90−2を取り付けた回転体70−2を配置し、その際、回転体70−2の挿通部71−2にシャフト50−2の押圧基部55−2を挿通し、同時に回転体70−2の一対のガイド部73−2をシャフト50−2の一対のガイド部挿通部57−2に挿入する。このときクリックバネ30−2の弾接部37−2が回転体70−2のクリック弾接部75−2に弾接する。   Then, the click spring 30-2 is arranged on the lower surface of the upper surface 11-2 of the cover 10-2, and then the shaft 50-2 is inserted into the shaft support 15-2 from the lower surface of the cover 10-2. Next, the rotating body 70-2 to which the slider 90-2 is attached is disposed below the shaft 50-2, and the pressing base of the shaft 50-2 is inserted into the insertion portion 71-2 of the rotating body 70-2. 55-2, and at the same time, a pair of guide portions 73-2 of the rotating body 70-2 are inserted into a pair of guide portion insertion portions 57-2 of the shaft 50-2. At this time, the elastic contact portion 37-2 of the click spring 30-2 elastically contacts the click elastic contact portion 75-2 of the rotating body 70-2.

次に回転体70−2等の下側に第2ケース110−2を配置して摺動子90−2と回転体70−2を第2ケース110−2の収納部113−2内に収納する。このとき回転体70−2の軸部81−2が第2ケース110−2の回転体軸支部115−2内に挿入されて軸支され、同時に摺動子90−2の接点部95−2が第2フレキシブル回路基板121−2の摺接パターン127−2上に弾接する。また第2ケース110−2の一対のケース係止部117−2が、カバー10−2の係止部17−2とクリッバネ30−2の挿通部39−2に挿入されて位置決めされ、同時にカバー10−2の両側壁部13−2,13−2の間に第2ケース110−2が挿入される。   Next, the second case 110-2 is disposed below the rotating body 70-2 and the like, and the slider 90-2 and the rotating body 70-2 are housed in the housing 113-2 of the second case 110-2. I do. At this time, the shaft portion 81-2 of the rotating body 70-2 is inserted into and supported by the rotating body shaft supporting portion 115-2 of the second case 110-2, and at the same time, the contact portion 95-2 of the slider 90-2. Resiliently contacts the sliding contact pattern 127-2 of the second flexible circuit board 121-2. Also, a pair of case locking portions 117-2 of the second case 110-2 are inserted and positioned in the locking portions 17-2 of the cover 10-2 and the insertion portions 39-2 of the click spring 30-2, and at the same time, the cover The second case 110-2 is inserted between the side walls 13-2, 13-2 of 10-2.

次に第2ケース110−2の下側に前記組立体240−2と押圧部材280−2を収納した第1ケース150−2を配置し、その際第1ケース150−2の外側面側に位置するカバー10−2の各係止部23−2の先端側部分を、図10に示すように第1ケース150−2の外側面に設けた係止突部158−2の下面側に折り曲げて、第2ケース110−2と第1ケース150−2をカバー10−2と一体化する。これによって電子部品1−2が完成する。このとき図11に示すように、回転体70−2を上下動自在に貫通したシャフト50−2の押圧部62−2は導光部材230−2の導光部231−2の上面中央に当接し、また発光素子173−2は導光部材230−2の素子収納部233−2内に位置し、作動体190−2の押圧部203−2は押圧スイッチ171−2の上面中央に当接している。また押圧部材280−2は上側の各押圧部281−2が第2ケース110−2の下面によって押圧されることで、下側の各押圧部281−2が発光素子設置用回路基板250−2の端子接続パターン253−2をその裏面側(上面側)から押圧し、端子接続パターン253−2と端子181−2間の電気的接続をさらに確実にしている。なお上記組立手順はその一例であり、他の各種異なる組立手順を用いて組み立てても良いことはいうまでもない。   Next, the first case 150-2 containing the assembly 240-2 and the pressing member 280-2 is disposed below the second case 110-2, and at this time, the first case 150-2 is placed on the outer side of the first case 150-2. As shown in FIG. 10, the distal end side portion of each locking portion 23-2 of the located cover 10-2 is bent to the lower surface side of the locking projection 158-2 provided on the outer surface of the first case 150-2. Then, the second case 110-2 and the first case 150-2 are integrated with the cover 10-2. Thereby, the electronic component 1-2 is completed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 11, the pressing portion 62-2 of the shaft 50-2 that penetrates the rotator 70-2 so as to be vertically movable comes into contact with the center of the upper surface of the light guide portion 231-2 of the light guide member 230-2. Further, the light emitting element 173-2 is located in the element housing portion 233-2 of the light guide member 230-2, and the pressing portion 203-2 of the operating body 190-2 is in contact with the center of the upper surface of the pressing switch 171-2. ing. The pressing member 280-2 presses the upper pressing portions 281-2 by the lower surface of the second case 110-2, so that the lower pressing portions 281-2 are mounted on the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-2. Of the terminal connection pattern 253-2 is pressed from the back surface side (upper surface side) of the terminal connection pattern 253-2 to further secure the electrical connection between the terminal connection pattern 253-2 and the terminal 181-2. Note that the above assembling procedure is one example, and it goes without saying that the assembling may be performed using other various assembling procedures.

そしてシャフト50−2を回転すれば、これと一体に回転体70−2及び摺動子90−2が回転し、摺動子90−2の接点部95−2が摺接パターン127−2上を摺動することで各端子131−2間のオンオフ出力が変化する。   When the shaft 50-2 is rotated, the rotating body 70-2 and the slider 90-2 rotate integrally with the shaft 50-2, and the contact portion 95-2 of the slider 90-2 is moved on the sliding contact pattern 127-2. Is turned on, the on / off output between the terminals 131-2 changes.

一方シャフト50−2をその回転軸方向(下方向)に押圧すれば、回転体70−2に対してシャフト50−2のみが下降し、その押圧部62−2が導光部材230−2を介して作動体190−2を押圧してこれを下降させ、作動体190−2の押圧部203−2が押圧スイッチ171−2の反転板171a−2を押圧してこれを反転し、押圧スイッチ171−2をオンする。前記シャフト50−2への押圧を解除すれば、反転板171a−2の弾性復帰力によって、反転板171a−2は元の形状に自動復帰し、同時に押圧スイッチ170−2はオフし、シャフト50−2は元の上昇位置に戻る。   On the other hand, when the shaft 50-2 is pressed in the direction of its rotation axis (downward), only the shaft 50-2 descends with respect to the rotating body 70-2, and the pressing portion 62-2 pushes the light guide member 230-2. The pressing member 203-2 of the operating member 190-2 presses the reversing plate 171a-2 of the pressing switch 171-2 and inverts it, thereby pressing the operating member 190-2 down. Turn on 171-2. When the pressing on the shaft 50-2 is released, the reversing plate 171a-2 automatically returns to the original shape by the elastic return force of the reversing plate 171a-2, and at the same time, the pressing switch 170-2 is turned off and the shaft 50 -2 returns to the original ascending position.

発光素子173−2を発光すると、その光はその真上及びその周囲を覆っている透明な導光部材230−2内に導入された後に、シャフト50−2の押圧部62−2からシャフト50−2内に導入され、シャフト50−2の上部に向かって放射され、シャフト50−2の上部を明るく照らし出す。   When the light-emitting element 173-2 emits light, the light is introduced into the transparent light-guiding member 230-2 directly above and surrounding the light-emitting element 173-2. -2, and is radiated toward the top of the shaft 50-2 to brightly illuminate the top of the shaft 50-2.

電子部品1−2においても、上述のように、回転体70−2を上下動自在に貫通するシャフト50−2によってこの回転体70−2を回転するので、シャフト50−2による回転式電子部品の回転操作をスムーズに行うことができる。同時にシャフト50−2の下方(この例の場合は真下)に作動体190−2を介して押圧スイッチ171−2を設置したので、シャフト50−2の押圧による押圧式電子部品の押圧操作もスムーズに行うことができる。   Also in the electronic component 1-2, as described above, since the rotating body 70-2 is rotated by the shaft 50-2 that penetrates the rotating body 70-2 so as to be vertically movable, the rotary electronic component by the shaft 50-2 is used. Rotation operation can be performed smoothly. At the same time, since the push switch 171-2 is installed below the shaft 50-2 (just below in this case) via the operating body 190-2, the push operation of the push-type electronic component by pushing the shaft 50-2 is also smooth. Can be done.

さらに作動体190−2上のシャフト50−2の真下に導光部材230−2を介して発光素子173を設置したので、発光素子173−2によるシャフト50−2の効果的な照明を行うことができる。即ち、導光部材230−2を設けることで、発光素子173−2が発光した光を、確実にシャフト50−2側に導くことができる。また導光部材230−2に設けた素子収納部233−2内に発光素子173−2を収納したので、シャフト50−2による押圧スイッチ171−2の押圧によって発光素子173−2が破壊されることはなく、同時に高さ方向の小型化も図ることができる。また発光素子173−2と押圧スイッチ171−2は上下に配置されるので、発光素子173−2を設置してもこの発光素子173−2によって押圧スイッチ171−2の設置スペースが制限されることはない。従って押圧スイッチ171−2に反転板171a−2を用いても、この反転板171a−2は従来と同等の大きさのもの等を容易に使用できる。このためシャフト50−2の押圧動作ストロークや押圧力の変更が容易に行える。   Further, since the light emitting element 173 is installed via the light guide member 230-2 directly below the shaft 50-2 on the operating body 190-2, effective lighting of the shaft 50-2 by the light emitting element 173-2 is performed. Can be. That is, by providing the light guide member 230-2, the light emitted by the light emitting element 173-2 can be reliably guided to the shaft 50-2 side. Further, since the light emitting element 173-2 is housed in the element housing part 233-2 provided in the light guide member 230-2, the light emitting element 173-2 is broken by the pressing of the push switch 171-2 by the shaft 50-2. In addition, miniaturization in the height direction can be achieved at the same time. Further, since the light emitting element 173-2 and the pressing switch 171-2 are arranged vertically, even if the light emitting element 173-2 is installed, the installation space of the pressing switch 171-2 is limited by the light emitting element 173-2. There is no. Therefore, even if the reversing plate 171a-2 is used for the pressing switch 171-2, the reversing plate 171a-2 having the same size as the conventional one can be easily used. Therefore, the pressing operation stroke and the pressing force of the shaft 50-2 can be easily changed.

また電子部品1−2は、作動体190−2及び導光部材230−2を収納する作動体収納部153−2を有する第1ケース150−2を具備し、この作動体収納部153−2の底面に押圧スイッチ171−2を設置するので、第1ケース150−2内に押圧スイッチ171−2と作動体190−2と導光部材230−2とをコンパクトに収納することができる。   Further, the electronic component 1-2 includes a first case 150-2 having an operating body storage section 153-2 for storing the operating body 190-2 and the light guide member 230-2, and the operating body storing section 153-2. Since the press switch 171-2 is installed on the bottom surface of the first case 150-2, the press switch 171-2, the operating body 190-2, and the light guide member 230-2 can be compactly stored in the first case 150-2.

また導光部材230−2は、その素子収納部233−2内に発光素子173−2を収納した状態で、作動体190−2に取り付けられているので、これら各部材を一体化(ユニット化)した組立体240−2とすることができ、この電子部品1−2の組み立てをより容易に行うことができる。   Further, since the light guide member 230-2 is attached to the operating body 190-2 in a state where the light emitting element 173-2 is stored in the element storage portion 233-2, these members are integrated (unitized). ), And the electronic component 1-2 can be more easily assembled.

またこの電子部品1−2では、発光素子設置用回路基板250−2の端子接続パターン253−2を、直接、端子181−2の露出面183−2に接続して導通させたので、簡単な構造で確実に、発光素子173−2と端子181−2間を導通させることができる。   Further, in the electronic component 1-2, the terminal connection pattern 253-2 of the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-2 is directly connected to the exposed surface 183-2 of the terminal 181-2 to conduct electricity, so that it is simple. With the structure, conduction between the light emitting element 173-2 and the terminal 181-2 can be ensured.

またこの電子部品1−2では、発光素子設置用回路基板250−2と、押圧スイッチ設置用回路基板167−2をそれぞれ個別の回路基板として構成し、それぞれの端子接続パターンを個別に端子181−2に当接・接続させる構成なので、発光素子173−2から引き出した回路パターン及び端子接続パターン253−2と、押圧スイッチ171−2から引き出した回路パターン及び端子接続パターンとを、お互いに制限されることなく、容易にそれぞれの回路基板に形成することができる。   In the electronic component 1-2, the circuit board 250-2 for installing the light emitting element and the circuit board 167-2 for installing the press switch are configured as individual circuit boards, and the respective terminal connection patterns are individually set to the terminals 181- 2, the circuit pattern and terminal connection pattern 253-2 drawn from the light emitting element 173-2 and the circuit pattern and terminal connection pattern drawn from the press switch 171-2 are mutually restricted. It can be easily formed on each circuit board without the need.

また組立体240−2は、導光部材230−2に設けたガイド部239−2を、第1ケース150−2に設けたガイド部155−2に上下動自在に係合させているので、組立体240−2、即ち作動体190−2の上下動は安定し、シャフト50−2による押圧スイッチ171−2のオンオフ動作をよりスムーズに確実に行わせることができる。また組立体240−2に一体に発光素子173−2を取り付けるので、発光素子173−2の安定した保持が行える。   Further, in the assembly 240-2, the guide portion 239-2 provided on the light guide member 230-2 is engaged with the guide portion 155-2 provided on the first case 150-2 so as to be vertically movable. The vertical movement of the assembly 240-2, that is, the operating body 190-2, is stable, and the ON / OFF operation of the push switch 171-2 by the shaft 50-2 can be performed more smoothly and reliably. Further, since the light emitting element 173-2 is integrally attached to the assembly 240-2, the light emitting element 173-2 can be stably held.

図17は本発明のさらに他の実施形態にかかる照明機能付き押圧兼回転式電子部品(以下単に「電子部品」という)1−3の断面図(図11と同一部分での断面図)である。同図に示す電子部品1−3において、前記図10〜図16に示す電子部品1−2と同一又は相当部分には同一符号を付す(但し、各符号には添え字「−3」を付す)。この電子部品1−3において、前記電子部品1−2と相違する部分は、組立体240−3中の発光素子設置用回路基板250−3の構造のみである。従って発光素子設置用回路基板250−3以外の事項については、前記図10〜図16に示す実施形態と同じなので、それらの説明は省略する。   FIG. 17 is a cross-sectional view (a cross-sectional view of the same portion as FIG. 11) of a pressing and rotating electronic component with an illumination function (hereinafter, simply referred to as “electronic component”) 1-3 according to still another embodiment of the present invention. . In the electronic component 1-3 shown in the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those of the electronic component 1-2 shown in FIGS. 10 to 16 are denoted by the same reference numerals (however, each reference numeral is denoted by a suffix “-3”). ). The electronic component 1-3 differs from the electronic component 1-2 only in the structure of the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-3 in the assembly 240-3. Therefore, items other than the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-3 are the same as those of the embodiment shown in FIGS.

図18は組立体240−3の斜視図、図19は組立体240−3の分解斜視図、図20は組立体240−3を下面側から見た分解斜視図である。これらの図に示す組立体240−3も、発光素子173−3を取り付けた発光素子設置用回路基板250−3の上下を、導光部材230−3と作動体190−3とによって挟持して一体化(ユニット化)して構成されている。   18 is a perspective view of the assembly 240-3, FIG. 19 is an exploded perspective view of the assembly 240-3, and FIG. 20 is an exploded perspective view of the assembly 240-3 as viewed from below. The assembly 240-3 shown in these figures also holds the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-3 on which the light emitting element 173-3 is mounted, by sandwiching the light guide member 230-3 and the operating body 190-3 above and below. It is configured integrally (unitized).

これらの図に示すように発光素子設置用回路基板250−3は、可撓性を有する略矩形状の合成樹脂フィルム251−3の約半分の部分を発光素子設置部260−3、残りの部分を端子パターン形成部270−3としており、両者は折り曲げ部275−3の部分で180°折り返されている。そして発光素子設置部260−3の一方の面の中央に発光素子173−3を設置している。そして発光素子173−3の図示しない各端子部は、発光素子設置部260−3の発光素子173−3を取り付けた面に形成された図示しない回路パターンに接続され、この回路パターンは折り曲げ部275−3を介して端子パターン形成部270−3側に引き出され、端子パターン形成部270−3の1辺に設けた4つの端子接続パターン253−3に接続されている。つまりこの発光素子設置用回路基板250−3の場合、各種回路パターンは、発光素子設置用回路基板250−3の一方の面側にのみに形成すれば良く、スルーホール等を形成する必要はない。   As shown in these figures, the light emitting element installation circuit board 250-3 has a light emitting element installation section 260-3 that is about half of the flexible, substantially rectangular synthetic resin film 251-3, and the remaining part. Are formed as a terminal pattern forming portion 270-3, and both of them are turned 180 degrees at the bent portion 275-3. Then, the light emitting element 173-3 is installed at the center of one surface of the light emitting element installation section 260-3. Each of the terminal portions (not shown) of the light emitting element 173-3 is connected to a circuit pattern (not shown) formed on the surface of the light emitting element installation section 260-3 on which the light emitting element 173-3 is mounted. -3 are drawn out to the terminal pattern forming section 270-3 side and connected to four terminal connection patterns 253-3 provided on one side of the terminal pattern forming section 270-3.
